I went to one of these showcases in April 2013 and it was really cool - you get a preview of the performer and what they do.The day includes over 50 artist programs, the
opportunity to speak to performing and teaching artists, continental breakfast and lunch. See pictures here.

phone and affiliation. The cost is $10 per person.
